Do your cats knock over water cups?

We have three cats, a dog, and 2 kids aged 2 and 4, so sometimes the water bowls are not full of fresh clean water. I check them numerous times a day, and we keep water on both levels of the house, but occasionally the boys will put a matchbox car in the bowl, or dog will come in and drink all the water or whatever, and of course the cats get miffed. One of my cats will just sit by the water bowl and meow at me until I get her new water. But my boys will just go find MY water, knock it over and drink from the table or the floor. Of course they don't get in trouble, because it is my fault their water is empty, but my Jasper kitty has gotten to the point where he prefers to knock over his own water, and will do it 5 minutes after I've filled his bowl, even! So we just try

If there is a glass left unsupervised, it will be turned over.

Tiger used to sit by Dusty's water dish and meow if empty as he would not drink out of his own!!

Both of my cats are funny with water. But they don't usually knock over glasses. Daisy likes to splash around in her bowl. I went through 3 dishes before I found one she couldn't knock over. Moxie won't drink out of her own dish or out of daisy's. I have to keep a glass of water on the counter & a bowl in the kitchen sink for her to drink out of. Sillies!
